Can anyone tell me what 'swags' are? I've seen them advertised for sale and have heard them mentioned but haven't a clue what they are!

Good on you! That's so true but I think it sometimes gets overlooked. I haven't been to the beach yet and we've been here 6 weeks now. Too much to do everywhere else.

Here you go. These are a bit trendy compared to the old style ones, but essentially pretty much the same.

So, what was the place called?

I lived with my parents 'up north' when I was a kid for a few years. That was enough though!
I prefer the southwest with it's trees and hills, but for a year or so it would be cool to live in the outback!

Here's all my foto's tagged with 'Nullagine' (so most are outback photo's)

It was up in the wiluna area the sign is from the town ,thought it was a great name for a road , The gunbarrel high way !
Here are some pics of the southwest we took a year ago in nov down margret river way, and walpole.

Ah yes, Wiluna. Never been there!
We were up further, Newman, Port Hedland area.
Stations the size of european countries(The Netherlands!!), ya can't visualise it unless you been there!(or similar!). Cattle on the roads, grates... Horses roaming free through town(and they weren't even wild brumby's!!).

Ahhh, Walpole, have spent many a weekend there, and family holidays(Rest Point Holiday Park), before the TreeTop walk(was built in 96), and before the boardwalk(we climbed on the funny looking tree )

Just in case you missed it, William Bay NP (Elephant Rocks and Greens Pool) is a must!!(I'm not a beach person, but this is just very nice rocks etc, and a nice beach to swim(in summer!) too.


Cities are (relatively) the same everywhere, but the nature/countryside of a country is unique! Though I guess to some people, a hill is a hill.... Well, too me a skyscraper is a skyscraper!
